Watergirl's World: Why I should have kept it to myself

The new beau was supposed to come up Saturday. Got stuck in the woods, sent me a text message saying he would call. Hasn't. I have left 3 messages and sent an e-mail. Either he's dead or he's no longer interested. I'm betting on the latter. Never saw it coming. Am stupid. Have spent 2 days crying. Hate life.

You're NOT stupid. You're brave to put yourself out there and risk. Moreover, if he's so passive-agressive and cowardly as to break up with you by not calling, then you are well rid of him.

I forgot to mention, I am keeping the DVD he left at my house.

Oh honey. Men are the scum of the earth, with a few notable exceptions. I second Dreadmouse's observation that anyone who would handle it this way isn't someone you want to be with, but I know that doesn't make you feel any better right now. What would probably make you feel better is making a voodoo doll and sticking pins in his boy parts. Do it! Do it! Ahem. Sorry. Oh, and just another observation - your post sounds a lot like Bridget Jones' Diary; as much as it's not supposed to be funny, the delivery was. As my favorite all-out chick flick says, "laughter through tears is mah favorite emotion." Chin up, girl. We're all out here pulling for you.

I should have also told y'all that the stupid part is that if he were to call, there's a 98% chance all would be forgiven. Flowers would increase those odds.

I've heard my female friends mourn that there isn't an equivalent "I'm sorry I messed up" or "I was thinking of you" gift to give guys. Most lads I know don't mind flowers much, but we don't crave them either. As for forgiving him, that's not necessarily stupid. He should have to crawl a little, however, unless he has a darned fine reason for not calling. Like being dead, or struck by lightning at the very least.

Sorry to hear this news Michele...I know how it must hurt. Wish there was something I could say that would help you, but I know from personal experience that time really is the only thing that helps...
